- Doug "Hambone" Hamilton's 1966 Chevrolet K-10 -- (Previously George "NAPCO Man" Van Orden's) -- not quite the Tale of Two Cities, but definitely a good story and a very cool truck. No "restoration project" here but plenty of repairs for this almost-daily-driver.
- Bruce "Bruce 1954-4100" Cook's 1954 Chevrolet 4100 1.5-Ton Grain Truck -- Now a flat bed, with removable sides. Bruce learned a lot from working in his Dad's moving business which had TWO Advance Design Chevy trucks!

- Bobby "BH1713" Holmes' 1958 Chevy Short Bed Stepside Apache -- Some good Father and Son time working on old trucks; learning to drive with a 3-on-a- tree ... then a huge time gap -- but Bobby now has a nice old truck again
- Paul "52 COE" Fritz's 1952 Chevy COE -- Besides the Gallery story, Paul's COE is the first Big Bolt in the Project Journals forum. Since he just got it, this is one we can follow "hot off the trailer" -- plus, it has a temporary home at Stovebolt HQ so we can be sure we get lots of details

- "Bedfordman's" 1950's Bedford COE RL 4x4 4-Ton -- In 1925 General Motors took over the company that made Bedfords. Besides the story of his truck, Bedfordman has included two great pieces about Bedford (talk about BIG TRUCKS
)

with a New Process 435 Trans and a H110 drive axle with a 6.17 ratio

- Matt "tri5trucking" Droege's 1957 10500 Fire Engine -- This truck is "almost show" condition -- pretty good for a "Fossil" truck
